Chapter 84: Nanyang Storm Part 5: Jiading (Part 1)

 Truqin easily took over the land of Mo Tianci, the general of Hexian Town who was previously enthroned by Guangnan Kingdom. It was roughly the place east of Hexian-Jingbian-Zhu Du and south of the Mekong River.

However, the Truchens obviously would not be full of their ambitions.

As for the Hexian people who stayed in the above-mentioned places, whether they were Chinese or Khmers, they obviously would not refuse a force that was stronger than the Mo family.

In the past, whether it was Siam or Guangnan, they would send troops here from time to time. In order to avoid the war, the people here had to leave their hometowns and flee.

There is no need to be like this with Truchen here.

What's more, the Truqins also have the edict of Cambodia King Udie II.

Not long after accepting Hexian Town, Timur led his army and the fleet arrived in Vung Tau.

Compared with Cambodia and Siam, Guangnan, which is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, has made the construction of cities much stronger.

"Because the Vietnamese have not yet immigrated to this place on a large scale, take down all the Vung Tau-Jiading front lines!"

When I thought of Qitad's words, Timur, who was looking at Vung Tau with a telescope on the Bogda, was also thinking about it.

"What Qitad said makes sense. There are undulating places east of Vung Tau-Jiading. As long as you keep this line, you can defend the Mekong Delta"

"However, why is he so cautious with the people of Guangnan? At present, all their energy is involved in the Xishan Uprising Army. Where can I have the spare energy to deal with us?"

Vung Tau City is just a small city at this time. According to the intelligence agency, there are only 1,500 soldiers here, of which 500 are sailors. Although its castle uses a large number of stones, the average thickness is only about one meter. It should not last long under the bombardment of heavy artillery of the armored warships.

Later generations were Vietnam's military ports, and their general shape was somewhat similar to Sevastopol Port. The narrow peninsula blocked most of the swells coming from the outside seas. There were many small bays on the north side of the peninsula, which could be used as commercial ports and military ports respectively.

At that moment, the Iron Armor Fleet stopped about a mile north of the peninsula, and waited for Timur to give the order...

At this moment, a large ship appeared outside the sea to the west.

It was a wooden Tengis, but it obviously belonged to Truchen, because there was still black smoke coming from it!

After seeing this Tengis, Timur's raised hand slowly fell down.

Not long after, the Tengis approached the Bogda of the Iron Armored Fleet, and three people came from above.

One is intelligence officer Wang Wu, who was just sent to North Vietnam by Timur, and one of the other two is an old acquaintance of Truqin.

In the last North Vietnam coup, with the help of Truqin, the puppet emperor Li overthrew Zheng and returned to the front desk. The Li family also became the backbone of civil servants in China. The Wu family, which made great contributions in the coup, occupied most of the positions of military generals.

What Li didn't understand was that the Wu family, who had a gun in his hand, would sooner or later become another Zheng family, and the civil servants were not enough to compete with the Wu family.

However, with Truqin's strong intervention, at least in recent years, the Wu family has been obedient and fulfilled its duties as a minister.

This person is naturally the chief judge of Hongji, Guangning Province, and the governor Mo Tongzong.

The other person, Timur, did not know him, but he was of the same age as Mo Tongzong, and his clothes were similar. He looked like a third-rank civil servant, and he looked at each other with glaring expressions.

This Tengis belongs to Garcia's medium and short-distance transport fleet. It seems that Wang Wu took the opportunity to do the ship south after finishing the matter in Hanoi.

In the cabin, Timur met with Wang Wu first.

"What's going on?"

"Your Highness, that man is Zhang Fuyue, the eldest son of Zhang Fuluan, the powerful minister of Guangnan State, and the son-in-law of Guangnan State..."

"It was him? How did he get on your boat?"

"Your Highness, I brought it with you when I passed by Hue, the capital of Guangnan"

"So, both countries have encountered big problems?"

"Yes, let's talk about the north first. Since the Li family came back to power, I didn't feel anything at the beginning, but the more I got to the future, I felt that I was still subject to the Wu family."

"The Wu family obviously realized this and strengthened their control over Shenglong City"

"In recent years, the Li family has adopted a policy of light taxes and low taxes in the country, which has gained recognition from the people in the country, which has further made the Wu family feel a crisis, but he dare not depose him immediately."

"The Li family is also secretly forming their own army. Since they control taxes, it still works"

"I'm afraid that the men of Mongol Mo Tong have troops?"

"Yes, there are many mountains here and close to the sea, so it is naturally the most convenient"

"Then he..."

"If you want to explain why Parliament Mo Tong came to meet His Highness in person this time, you have to tell me about Zhang Fuyue's purpose"

"Since the Xishan Uprising in Guangnan, the country has been getting worse day by day. The Li family in the north has seen an opportunity. They believe that they have already established a foundation among the people of the Northern Dynasties. If they can take over Guangnan, then even if the Wu family is arrogant, they will not be able to threaten them."

"So, the Li family contacted the rebel army and provided them with food, grass and weapons, which made it even more difficult for Guangnan to take down the rebel army."

"The news that our country has already spread to the two countries at this time. For the upper class of the two countries, they didn't see the mere Hexian Town. The inheritance of status is the most important thing"

"The Li family has already explained to the Wu family that if Guangnan Kingdom is taken down, half of Guangnan Kingdom's territory can be granted to the family. This is too tempting for the Wu family"

"The Wu family tentatively crossed the borders of the two countries and launched an attack on Guangnan, which was unexpectedly smooth, which made the two families temporarily unite"

"They knew that our country would not stop at Hexian Town, so they promised that if we did not assist Guangnan and waited for them to take Guangnan, they could ced the territory south of Pingshun Province."

Pingshun Province, a province south of Guangnan Country, the capital of Pan Chee.

"Where is Zhang Fuyue?"

"Your Highness, Guangnan is now in trouble with internal and external affairs, and the court is a treacherous minister like Zhang Fuluan, who has long been in power. He naturally came to ask our country for help, and the condition is to cede Vung Tau and Jiading."

At this time, Zhou Jixun had returned to Timur's side. When he heard this, Timur turned his attention to him.

"Xiao Zhou, tell me, how do we do it?"

Zhou Jixun thought for a while, "Your Highness, according to the previous warnings from Your Majesty to us, the entire Vietnamese land is always in division, and civil strife is the best state"

"But if you can pass negotiations, you can win Vung Tau, and it will be good in the land of Jiading."

"The current choice is whether we will take this place from Guangnan Kingdom or from the Northern Dynasties?"

"If it was taken from the Northern Dynasties, then the Northern Dynasties must have unified the entire Vietnam, which is contrary to His Majesty's warning. Whether it was the Northern Dynasties or the Southern Dynasties, they adopted a system that was generally similar to China, producing a large amount of rice, and being able to mine, smel and build ships by themselves."

"The overall level ranks first among the countries in the Nanyang Islands. If they are unified, it will still be quite a threat to our country"

"Haha", Timur shook his head, "Even if it is unified, it will not be any threat to our country"

Zhou Jixun asked: "What does Your Highness mean to agree to the Northern Dynasties? In this case, our country must fight against Vung Tun and use force in Jiading."

Timur shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face, "Can I be so cheap for the Northern Dynasties?"

"Then..."

"First agree to Guangnan, I promise that I will not let them perish and get a map"

When his subordinates got the map, Timur pointed to the map of Guangnan and said.

"This is Hue. I promised that the Northern Dynasties could reach here and use the newly acquired Guangnan land north of Hue City as the fief of the Wu clan"

"The Li family has taken over the capital of Guangnan and will definitely have a great reputation in the country. The Wu family can be enthroned to the northern part of Guangnan and completely eliminate the power of warriors. By then, the Li family will be able to show their strength without any restraints"

"As for the territory of Guangnan, south of Hue, there are still Nguyen's tribes occupying it, but the premise is that the Vung Tau-Kating area must be ceded to our country. The negotiations are lengthy. In order for the Nguyen's tribe to show sincerity, we can take down Vung Tau Port first and wait for the final result here"

Zhou Jixun thought about it carefully, and finally couldn't help but admire him secretly, "Be good, there were only two countries, after your highness this trouble, one more country will appear. Vietnam will not know how many years will be in chaos"

....

When Zhou Jixun came out to talk to the envoys of the two countries, they naturally disagreed, but Zhang Fuyue was obviously more anxious than M. Mo Tong. In the end, he agreed to the suggestion that Truqin occupied Vung Tau Port first, and decided to go ashore in person to give orders to the Vung Tau defenders.

Now Zhang Fuluan is in power in the court and the country, Zhang Fuyue is also the son-in-law, and he has the arrows and imperial edicts of Lord Ruan. In the eyes of Timur and others, it should not be a big problem.

However, when Zhang Fuyue successfully landed on the Guangnan Kingdom's royal flag, there was no movement for a long time.

Finally, a head was picked out from the walls of Vung Tun City. Timur used a telescope to see who was not Zhang Fuyue?

Zhou Jixun also saw it, and he quickly said, "Your Highness, nowadays, the Zhang family father and son have a very bad reputation in Guangnan. In the eyes of the Vung Tau defenders, Zhang Fuyue's behavior is a complete treason for tyrants of the country. He can kill him in anger"

"No"

Timur's expression became a little solemn.

"It's not that simple. It seems that both Vung Tau and Jiading must see the real seal before they can be won."

"Why is this?"

"According to your information, Ruan Youju of Jiading Prefecture, Shizhen Town, is the grandson of Ruan Youyi, a famous general of Guangnan Kingdom. His father and son have been guarding the area for fifty years. If Guangnan Kingdom continues to sing and dance to peace, Ruan Youju will not have any unfair intentions"

"But now the Xishan Uprising is in full swing, and the Northern Dynasties have crossed the border and entered their own country. Guangnan is in danger, as long as a normal person can see it"

"Also, most of the Xishan Uprising Army contacted Ruan Youju, probably to have made a private agreement to divide Guangnan equally"

"Vung Tau is under the jurisdiction of Jiading Prefecture, and most of them are subject to the strict order of Ruan Youju, and are not allowed to surrender without authorization."

Zhou Jixun was a little confused, "As far as I know, Ruan Youju has less than 1,500 people in the entire Jiading Prefecture, Vung Tau, and a maximum of 5,000 in Jiading City. Even if they are better than the Khmers and the Siamese people, they are far from being the opponent of our country. How dare they provoke our country?"

Timur asked, "What kind of person is Ruan Youju?"

"Report to your Highness, he has a good attitude towards being a father, has strict military discipline, and is very good at government affairs. In the past few decades under his rule, the territory has been generally smooth"

"By the way, in the decades he took office, he adopted the strategy of vigorously winning over the former Chameng people and Khmer people, so that they could compete with the Vietnamese, and did not adopt the strategy of discriminating against these two people, making them very popular among the Khmer people and Chameng people"
